Liked but i prefer the original by Harvy Andrews who i think wrote it while serving in that god awful time. About his sgt i think. Around 1974. I had been out for a couple of years by then. Still making music, i am told, so i must find some of it. Always good to see a squadie get some recognition for something other than taking orders from our to out of focus politicians.
I remember buying this record, mid eighties in Sydney Australia. I played it over and over at full blast till the old biddy from next door burst into my lounge room yelling at me to turn it off. This is the first time I have heard it in 30 odd years. Still as powerful now as then. The same shit is still happening its just the extremists follow a different god and wear a different uniform. The money makers are laughing till they shit themselves while the pawns do their dirty work..ANGELIC UPSTARTS Fucking Awesome!!!
I served 19 years and I am proud of every second . Those who serve and those who take the privileges the lads fought for . Givers and takers in this world , I gave some , some gave all . Sing about that instead , have some respect
Why the fuck is it that only musicians and soldiers seem to know the impact of war? Why don`t fucking politicians see? Fuck `m! Fuck politics ruining our lives with useless hatred, fuck religion extremists, fuck the bloodshed, fuck animosity, fuck war.
